.TV- THE HENDE11SON GOLD LEAF THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1906, si -'if." 5 V It-' ! ! r ' i i Volly and the JYltstletoe By OLIVE HARPER. ELL, Mrs. LI Hung Chang, I believe I will," said Tolly Adams to a ridiculous chlua doll tbat eat on tbe ch.mcoy Ktf.ring fixedly before her. It was nearly midnight, and the bouse was still. The Christmas tree stood all decorated a:id with tbe gifts bung upon it In the library, back of the par lor, and Tolly bad been eitting beside the fire in her pretty yellow eiderdown pajamas. Pajamas were a fad tbat season among all her girl friends, and Tolly always, as she said, "kept right along with the procession." Tolly was tired, for she had been busy all that day. They were not rich, and so much of the running devolve ! upon Tolly, and the three boys were home from school, and they had two Tisitors to remain till New Year's. One of them was Archie it Is enough to call him just "Archie." So, while Folly braided the heuy mass of rich brown hair Into one loig loose plait, the glanced at the mistletoe? and then at the ephinxlike face of the Chinese doll as Bhe said: ".Now, Mrs. LI Hung Chang, what shall 1 do? Archie loves me. I know It from a dozen yes, a thousand WltAPPED THE SHUINKIXO FIG UBS IN ITS FOLDS. IiITTLB things, but he Is so shy and timid. Minnie Blake is engaged, and so would I be if only Archie had the courage of r a chlpniiink," she hastily added as she thought of her bare feet and pos sible mice. "Now, "if I could hang this mistletoe to the chaidelier tonight in the excitement of wring our gifts I could manage I knov 1 could to get hi in under it beside n:' and the boys , would do the rest, and then well, the ice would be broken. 1 will if you nay so. Why don't you epeakV" Saying this, the dainty little beauty stamped her fool, now ia its slipper, which jarred the room ever so slightly, nnd the doll did nod its bead. Tolly laufie 1. half startled, but with new courage. She took the night light in one hand and the bunch of mistletoe in the other, with its grappling wires, and stole downstairs to tho library door and on into tho parlor, nt noticing that the library door had shut to with the spring I-;.' !:. I'.-ily did !iot wi-di to awaken any Htoinbor of the f.n:.ily. r she did not switch on the lights. Her own tiny li-.lit but ri;:;1 the darkness visible. It v::-. fearsome d;.v. n her;; nil alone in the dark, so tdio hurried and pushed the side table over Into the middle of the rom under the handelier. with the ini-tletoe 0:1 it. and then brought a delicate, long lftige 1. gold pain led chair, on which she climbed timidly, listening nil the while for a sound. The chandelier was high and Tolly not tall, so do her best, standing on her tiptoes, she could not reach the lis lure. I must get up on the table," she said to herself, "and I h ie I'll not fall and break my neck and rouse the house." Just as this ery eourageous little maiden stepped i the table with one foot, while the other v,':'? still resting on the Insecure ha5r. thee was the sound of n latchkey In the front door and then a Jtlast of wintry wind autj two voices In the hall. They were those of her oldest and most unbear able brother Fred, and the other voice belonged to Archie Sleadman. It was too much for Tolly. It would be awful If Fred discovered her. She tried lo step down from her Ih secure perch, but the treacherous orna mental chair tilted, and Tolly came down suddenly, striking her head against the table. She was too frightened te feel the hurt, for the noise was great enough to startle Fred Into saying: "What's that? Burglars, I'll bet Come on. Arch." Saying that, Fred bounded forward and switched on the light and, seizing n heavy cane from the hatrack, sprang iuto the parlor. But Tolly had manag ed to get on her feet and scamper to the library door, dropping one,of her slippers as she went and leaving the lamp behind her; but, try as she might, she could not open the library door, and stood there pulling with a strength lorn of desperation, while Fred said ' Burglars! Here's the light. They're after tho gifts on the tree. Come on!" With his cane swinging like an In dian club, Fred sprang into the library, while Archie, with his nnbrella, fol lowed, and both advanced upon tbe burglars. They could hear the rattling of the doorknob, and Fred shouted: "You may as well give up. You're cauphtT' And then the library was also flooded with light, which was reflected from thousaud gilded ornaments. on tbe tree. and by the illumination Fred an4 Archie saw a miserable little figure in yellow pajamas, huddled up like a cold duckling, with oue bare foot and with its head down, in the corner of the door frame as though trying to hide. From her baby days Tolly had had a queer habit of hopping from one foot to the other without moving from her place when frightened or angry. Now one 6iippered little foot and one pink bare one kept up the familiar hopping movement. Fred looked at the culprit a moment and then sprang forward and, seizing one shoulder and the long braid of hair, turned her around to the light, while the miserable girl covered her face with her hands. Fred laugh ea loud and long, saying: "Well, I'll be jiggered if It lin' Polly!" Archie said nothing and was trying to pretend that he did not know any thing at all until he saw- the tears streaming through the fingers, and thea he said hotly; BE 'Fred. I am ashamed of yon. Yon are not treating your sister right at all. Here, Tol I mean Miss Adams," con tinued he, at the same time jerkins the big maroon cover from the old fash loned square piano, to the Instant de struction of two plaster ornaments. "Here. Miss Tol Adams." Saying this with a lordly air, he wrapped the- shrinking little figure in Its beneficent folds, while her heartless brother lay on the carpet In convul sions of laughter. She sobbed out: "I I forgot something and that Is wby"- "Ah, bosh! You just wanted to see If Archie had put a present on the tree for you." "Oh, Fred; don't I" she cried, while tears trickled down her hands. "Mr. Adams, I consider your treat ment of your sinter very harsh very cruel." "Well, I suppose she can't help be ing a little fool," continued Fred, laughing still. "Sir, another such remark concern ing this ang ah, your sister under the circumstances will sever our friendship. Tol Miss Tolly, I have your present here. I was going to give It to you tomorrow, but under the present circumstances I shall ask if you will accept it now and here, as with it you will have a protector." With a malevolent look at Fred, Archie fumbled In all his pockets until he found a small box. Then he reach ed for one of Tolly's wet little hands. Archie looked very imposing to Folly, and little by little her sobs ceased, and by the time he had opened the box she could ee through her dimmed eyes that he had a superb solitaire ring for her one to make the heart of any girl proud, and one in keeping with his wealth. So she even smiled a little as Archie, with one last look of defiance at Fred, placed the sparkling ring on the proper finger and then folded her in his arui3 proudly and with a look of inefTable happiness, though Tolly did look something like a noble squaw.

American Family Magazine. Cbriatmoa Pont Cards. The favorite Christmas post cards have very little room for writing. The entire back of the card is covered with "Madouna and Child" by Murillo, Raphael, or, to come to more modern times, Gabriel Max or Bouguereau. The coloring is most artistic, and these cards are quite worth framing as little works of art Some of these Madon nasfor instance, the Raphael "Ma donna of the Chair" are framed In a wreath of glowing holly, which con trasts vividly with the colors in the Roman scarf flung over the back of the chair. Other subjects are to be bad in these truly artistic post cards, notably portraits of fair women by Romney nnd Lely, Reynolds and Gainsborough, Grenze and Le Brum New York Globe.

Sadie Santa tlaiiM Won Only Jobs ay Smith's Pajsn. The loss of pari of Santa Claus dis guise at a Christmas Sunday school en tertainment and the consequent dis covery that "he was only a man after all" caused- one little girl at loast acute distrepg. i Santa Claus was one of the cherished idea hi of (in-' childhood, and Sadie parted with her ideals reluctantly. She wns sure she beard the reindeers scam per over the roof every Christmas eve, and the fact that even the gas logs were n pretty tight fit for the chimney did not dispel the illusion that somehow Santa Claus. despite his corpulence, managed to slip through the tiny slit with Lis pack and leave presents on tree and In stocking. So when she saw on the Sunday school platform his hoary head and beard, fur trimmed coat, fat stomach and nhort le.-is and, above all, his pack she greeted the familiar figure with enthusiastic applause. Unfortunately for Sadie's peace of mind, however, the hoary hair :;nd beard became entangled lu the branch;; of the Christmas tree when Santa Claus began to hang up the contents of his pack, and when he withdrew his head, sans hirsute adorn ment, he revealed the familiar features of a prominent churchman. Then the assemblage w as startled by a desolate wail that suddenly rent the air. "Oh." sobbed Sadie, "there ain't any Santa Claw! lie's only Johnny Smith's papa!" New York Tress.

The Christmastide celebrates the birth "festival of our Lord. The in ca.ra.if.ou of Christ is the central tho'.'.gbt iu the history of the world. Kin birth has exalted the poetry, the mr.sie p.nd the art of the centuries. It has changed all social customs and re ligious rituals, it has given a new glory to human life and a new trend to eternity. This is the time when all bitterness should be forgotten, all fam ily feuds reconciled and all life glori ced. God grant that the day may speedily come when the song of the angels celebrating the birth of the Christ may tind it3 fulfillment through out the whole world.

NOVELTIES, k., Suitable for IN A GERMAN HOSPITAL. - Wbets the Christmas Aasel visits SalTerlaB Chllarea. In one of the German hospitals of our country is observed a custom quite In accordance with the beauurui ienn ment the Germans weave about Christ mas. Christmas belongs to tho children everybody knows that but It belong to them in a deeper, more beautiful sense than "everybody" knows. One is reminded of it. however. It ho wit nesses such a scene as is portrayed In this hospital on Christmas ere. One of the nurses dresses in a long, soft flow ing robe of white, bearing ia her hand a fir bough covered with snow. Tho snow Is cotton sprinkled with diamond dust. Thisls the Christmas angeL The children are told of the gentle visitor and wait in their uttie cots. When darkness is outside they hear the strains of sweet music in the distance. The nurses are singing Christmas car ols, and the sounds come through open doors. Then the Christmas angei comes, sne goes to eacu iuue wi bending over each little form to listen to the whispered secrets. Each one tells her what he wants on Christina day. Then, with a tender word, she passes out, and to tbe sound of the car ols they all fall asleep those who can slip away from pain. When the day dawns all the children are taken into tbe kindergarten. Some are carried, some are rolled, and some can walk. Sure enough, each finds there what he asks for drums and dolls aid trumpets and books. On a long, low table Is a plate for each one, filled with candles and queer little Ger man cakes. On one wall Is a tableau of the Nativity made of small wax figure, and a painting on tbe wall completes tbe perspective of hills and shepherds and the guiding star. Hanging from tbe-wall in tbe center of the ward Is a large hoop covered with laurel. At In tervals around It are set lighted can dies. It is suspended from the ceiling by four wide ribbons. In the fever ward, where tbe coa tagious diseases nre cared for. tbe little patients cf course cannot leave, but they have their Christmas too. Two larce. flue spruce trees stand In each eud of the ward, brilliantly Illuminat ed by tiny, many colored electric lights. Philadelphia North American. Cauarht Saata on the Street. A Santa Claus from the Salvation Army was ringing his bell beside his iron pot In Fourteenth street, says the New York Mall and Express, when suddenly a little girl broke away from her mother in the passing throng and, rushing up to the pseudo Santa, grab bed him by his gown and began rapid ly to tell her wants. First she gave him her full name and address, with many injunctions not to forget. Then she rattled off a list of things she wanted, regardless of the attempts of her mother to induce her to come awav aud not bother Santa. The lit tle girl was persistent, the crowd gatli red around to hear her little invoca tion, and for awhile she blocked traffic on that side of the street A Santa Clans Party.
